Comments

Because other people turned off word verification on comments, I thought I would try it. It worked, sort of. No spam comments appeared on this blog, but I was getting a dozen or so emails a day notifying me of Anonymous comments. That wasn't too bad, but I just went to clean out the spam trap and there were 250 spam comments in there. If you could delete them all at once it would be one thing, but you can't, you can only delete 50 at a time, and it takes a while, seconds, I tell you. So now I have turned on the stop-and-identify-yourself barrier, but word verification is still turned off. We'll see how that goes.

I don't use email notification, I just go manually dig the dozen spam comments out of the spam trap once in the morning and once at night, being careful to remove and carefully dry the innocent real comments that got caught in there with the sludge by the overly-fine filter.

You are a treasure. You turn a throw away comment into a veritable pearl. Cheers!
